NIBE™ Domestic boilersContinuing a time-honoured tradition

+ –


Humans have warmed themselves by wood fires for millennia. Now, NIBE presents a range of domestic boilers which take this time honoured tradition to the next level - providing you with a reliable, cost-effective source of heating and hot water for your home.

NIBE’s range of domestic boilers are designed to run on biomass fuel such as wood or pellets, both of which give good heat and good savings. These are environmentally friendly fuels as they don’t contribute to the green house effect.

Our range also includes boilers designed to run on electricity. If you choose this option, we recommend that you also install a heat pump to achieve a solution that is not only conven-ient but also environmentally friendly.

Whichever way you decide to go, NIBE has a model to suit your needs. We offer a full range of options from straightforward electric boilers to sophisticated combination boilers with op-portunities for docking to solar panels or an air/water heat pump for extra savings.

niBe domestiC Boilers - a natural extension of a time honoured tradition.

Why Choose a niBe domestiC Boiler?


Good for your walletForest ‘waste’ wood is often readily available in the countryside, making the price of fuel low or even zero, for those living nearby. Pellets are a clean, cost-effective energy source. A pellet-fired boiler requires less time and effort as it is run automatically by the NIBE PB 10 or NIBE PB 20. The ash cassette only needs to be emptied once a month.

Even with a domestic boiler which runs purely on electricity, the initial investment is so low that this can be a viable cost-effective alternative for homes with very low energy requirements.

Good for the environmentForests have to be regularly pruned to prevent too tight tree growth, which makes a certain amount of wood available for domestic use at no cost to the environment. The CO2 emitted when the wood is burned has been taken out of the atmosphere by the growing plant. This means that when you use a wood fired boiler, the process of emission and absorption of CO2 results in a zero net CO2 output. However, since the boiler generates more energy than the house needs at any one time, you also need an accumulator tank to store the excess for later use.

Combine with solar panelsWith these heat storage possibilities offered by an accumulator, you can also take advantage of solar energy. Place solar panels on the roof of your home, and hook up your NIBE wood boiler with a con-trol unit that switches over to solar energy whenever the sun shines. You can store the sun’s energy for several days in an accumulator tank. Since solar energy is both cost and emission-free, this is a great way to supplement your household’s energy supply.

Burn wood pelletsWood pellets, which are usually made of compressed waste saw-dust, are another good renewable energy source. What’s more, a NIBE pellet-fired boiler only produces energy as and when it’s needed, resulting in a heating system that’s both efficient and con-venient.

Combine with a heat pumpif you choose an electric boiler, its running costs can be reduced by connection to NIBE air/water heat pump. NIBE’s air/water heat pumps extract the energy from the outside air and concentrate it to provide heat and domestic hot water for your home. Producing ap-proximately 3 kW of energy for every 1 kW of electricity used, they lead to very low carbon emissions compared to any traditional fossil fuel based system.

The attractive but discreet design of NIBE boilers makes them easy to place in your home.

Consider thisEven allowing for emissions of fossil carbon dioxide in planting, har-vesting, processing and transporting the fuel, replacing fossil fuel with wood fuel will typically reduce net CO2 emissions by over 90%.

What happens When you Burn Wood?

Heating and evaporation

Wood heats up to approximately 100oC, evaporating the moisture in it. There is no heating from the wood at this point. This also explains why wood with high moisture content is hard to ignite.

Gases start to burn and release heat

The wood solids start to break down, converting the fuel into gases. The organic vapours start to react with the oxygen and the combustion process begins.

Primary combustion

The process by which gases are released from wood and burned is called primary combustion and it re-sults in the release of a large amount of energy. The main energy in the wood is released when fuel va-pours containing 40% to 60% of the energy burn.

Secondary combustion

After the moisture has evaporated and the fuel va-pours have been burned, only charcoal remains, burning at high temperatures. At this point it would be suitable to start cooking on your BBQ.

hoW a Wood Burning Boiler Works:

In a NIBE wood burning boiler, there are two air intakes, primary and secondary, which provide the oxygen needed for the wood to burn.

The primary intake acts as the main oxygen source, driving the burn-ing process; the secondary intake allows for fine tuning of the burn-ing process and enables cleaner emissions.

In the gas burning chamber, burnable gases from the wood are mixed with the secondary intake air, which allows full burning to oc-cur (radiation heat) at temperatures of up to 900–1000oC.

At the heat transfer, gases are transported through the pipes and convection heat transferred to the water, where it is stored.

What kind of Boiler do you need?

The basic criterion for choosing a NIBE domestic boiler is that you live in a singel family house with water-based underfloor heating or radiators. Beyond that, you can choose between several diffe-rent types of domestic boilers, according to your needs and wis-hes.


NIBE™ VEDEx 3300

NIBE VEdEx 3300

Boiler water volume 65 litres

Wood magazine volume 95 litres

Wood magazine depth 0,55 m

Maximal output during wood firing 40 kW

Average output during wood firing 35 kW

Height/Width/Depth 1070/450/880 mm

An efficient, fan-controlled wood burning boiler to heat private

houses and other buildings.

NIBE VEDEx 3300 is designed for a maximum log length of 0.5 m,

and the fireplace has a volume of 95 litres. The boiler’s combustion

is controlled by a two-stage suction fan which aids steady burning. It

is environmentally approved for wood firing to the accumulator tank

and can also be set to work with pellets.

To heat domestic hot water, this boiler can be connected to an exter-

nal water heater. When in operation, the boiler water is partially hea-

ted by the hearth and partly by the flue gas ducts. The average output

during operation is approx. 35kW (max. output is approx. 40kW).

Choose a wood burning boiler if you live in the countryside and can get free or low priced wood. This is the ideal system for those who prefer to use a renewable fuel to heat their home, rather than further diminishing the world’s fossil fuel reserves. It is also a good solution for anyone who enjoys being physically active and living close to nature.

NIBE wood burning boilersIn the products described below, hot water is taken from the top of the boiler and routed to the accumulators. Return water from the accumulator tanks is led back to the bottom of the boiler. Hot water is transported from the accumulators to heat your home’s radiators. They are kept at the desired temperature by mixing the hot accumu-lator water with the cooled return water from the radiator circuit. To heat up the water you need an accumulator with a double jacket or coil. The hot water capacity is determined by the choice of cylinder size or the length of coil.

are on top of the boiler. Moreover, its low height is an advantage when

installing in rooms with low ceilings.

NIBE PELLUx 200 is also equipped with a large ash cassette so it doesn’t

need to be emptied too often. A swing-door makes emptying the cas-

sette easy. Both the burning chamber and convection zone are designed

for easy maintenance. This model also features a climate-controlled au-

tomatic shunt with outdoor and supply sensors, and a 9 kW immersion

heater for the load monitor.

Choose a pellet boiler if you live in town and want a convenient kind of bio-fuel. Maybe you prefer to use a renewable fuel to heat your home, but don’t have the time to handle a wood boiler. Besides, you live too far from the source for it to be environmentally beneficial. Alternatively, you might already have an oil boiler which is reaching the end of its service life, and want to replace it with a convenient, non fossil fuel-based alterative.

You will undoubtedly appreciate the convenience of a pellet feeder NIBE PB 10 or NIBE PB 20 – which keeps the boiler going automatically.

A NIBE electric boiler can be connected to a NIBE air/water heat pump, enabling you to take advantage of the energy savings of-fered by this highly efficient and clean, modern technology. An air/water heat pump is a great way to boost your energy supply without increasing emissions and still keeping your monthly electricity bills low. An electric boiler on its own would be suitable if you have very low energy needs and are looking for a system with a low start-up investment and which only requires minimal maintenance. That’s be-cause while direct electricity can be quite costly, the hardware i.e. the boiler itself, is not.

CASE - NIBE PELLUxloW Costs, high ConvenienCe – With a niBe pellet fuelled Boiler


The backgroundThe Abrahamsson family moved into a 1960s house in Småland, Sweden, with a main floor area of 125sq.m. plus another 125sq.m of converted cellar, which includes a family room, lavatory, shower, laundry room and storage space. The Abrahamssons were looking for a new environmentally friendly and reasonably priced heating system which could provide both heat and hot water year round. It should function at an economical rate, since the winters can be long and cold in Småland.

SolutionAfter careful consideration, they chose a domestic boiler, running on wood pellets, as this provides both good heat and good savings, us-ing renewable bio-fuel. The wood pellets are made of compressed waste sawdust, a by-product of the timber industry.

The family teamed their NIBE PELLUx 200 boiler up with a NIBE PB10 pellet feeder, which refills the boiler automatically. Featuring a thermostatically controlled system and electrical ignition, the feeder ignites and extinguishes the flame as required. This means the boiler only produces energy as and when it’s needed, making this heating system both economical and convenient.

ResultsWhen the pellet-fired boiler was installed, the family’s yearly heat-ing and hot water bills went down immediately. Pellets are also a clean, renewable energy source which do not contribute to the greenhouse effect. And thanks to the NIBE PB10 it’s no trouble to keep the boiler going all year round. They refill the pellet feeder once a week in the coldest months, but only once a month in the summertime.


A future proof heating system

With all these different docking options, your home’s energy needs are guaranteed for the future too. Current conditions might favour the use of electricity as a complement to your boiler but if supplies become more expensive, it’s a comfort to know you can also use e.g. air/water heat pump as an energy booster instead – without chang-ing the boiler, your main source.

Make it greener!

Given widespread concerns about climate change and the rapid de-velopment of legislation regarding permissible CO2 emissions levels, it’s also good to know that your NIBE boiler connects easily to an-other renewable energy supply, such as solar panels. Choose this option today, and you’ll be all set for many years to come.

And let’s not forget the increase in your home’s resale value as a result of installing a clean, modern low cost heating system!

keep your options open!With a NIBE domestic boiler you have the flexibility to use almost any other kind of additional energy source as and when it’s needed. Examples of docking options include air/water heat pumps, solar panels and, of course, electricity.

We all know we’ve got to reduce emissions. The question is how?

“Green” thinking might once have been a luxury, but lately it has become a necessity that none of us can afford to ignore. Increasingly, the reduction of CO2 emissions is becoming a legal requirement as well as an environmental necessity.

Over 70% of an average home’s CO2 emissions are caused by its heating and hot water systems. In order to reduce this figure, we need to start implementing greener, more sustainable technologies across the board. Only then, will we see a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

Meanwhile the prices of traditional energy sources are rising steadily, with the result that more and more people feel inclined to consider alternative, more efficient energy sources.

neW times Call for a neW approaCh

One obvious reason for this is that even when you account for emis-sions of fossil carbon dioxide in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting the biomass fuel, replacing fossil fuel with wood fuel will typically reduce net CO2 emissions by over 90%.

What’s more, you can combine the use of a biomass boiler eas-ily with other environmentally friendly heat sources. For example, when using a wood burning boiler, you can also take advantage of solar energy, a cost and emission- free way to supplement your household’s energy supply. Or you can install a NIBE air/water heat pump which extracts energy from the outside air and simply up-grades it to provide heat and domestic hot water for your home.

A third point to consider is that boilers, like every manufactured item contains what we call ‘embedded energy’. That is, the energy required to make the product and transport it from the factory to the site where it will be used. By continually improving its own proc-esses, NIBE seeks to minimise the amount of embedded energy in its products; to build and transport them in the most environmen-tally friendly way.

‘Do what you canwith what you’ve got’. Providing efficient ways to heat your home with biomass or smart combinations of green energy, NIBE’s domestic boilers are another in-genious demonstration of this philosophy at work!


niBe of sWedenLiving in harmony with nature

The Swedes have a long and impressive track record of clever, money-saving innovations that use resources sparingly. The sim-ple reason for this is that Sweden was historically a poor agrar-ian country. A harsh winter climate made food scarce for many months, necessitating careful forward planning.

Today, Sweden is a technologically advanced country with a suc-cessful economy, so this is no longer necessary. However, the mindset continues to be manifested in the form of fabulous, cost saving innovations.

NIBE is a perfect example of the economical Swedish mind at work!

The company was founded by Nils Bernerup in 1952, after a particu-larly cold winter. And over the last 60 years it has become Sweden’s leading supplier of domestic heating products, continually driving the development of ever-more efficient heating methods.

Early products included water heaters and pressure vessels. In the 1970s these were supplemented by electric boilers. Heat pumps and a wide range of other heating products that meet the needs of the European markets were later added to the mix.

Nowadays, NIBE is a leading player in both heating and cooling so-lutions around Europe. We strive to offer innovative solutions that not only save energy but which also reduce CO

2 emissions.

Together with our customers, we’re working towards a more sus-tainable future, one home at a time.

sWeden’s Biggest supplier of heating produCts

NIBE is Sweden’s biggest supplier of heating products, offering a wide range of products and solutions to meet every individual need. Our range includes ground source and air/water heat pumps, do-mestic boilers, water heaters and a variety of other products desig-ned to generate and distribute heat.

Ground source heat pumpsGround source heat pumps extract solar energy which is stored in the soil, bedrock or a nearby water source, thus providing an envi-ronmentally friendly alternative for the heating of houses, apartment buildings and other large properties. Our ground source heat pumps are available with or without an integrated water boiler.

Air/water heat pumpsAir/water heat pumps extract and upgrade the heat from the outside air. Unlike the simpler air/air heat pumps, they can be connected to the building’s central heating system to provide both heat and hot water, and in some cases, cooling.

Exhaust air heat pumpsExhaust air heat pumps can provide your home with heating, hot water and ventilation. Heat is extracted from the outgoing air in the ventilation system then recycled to heat the incoming air and hot water supply.

Domestic BoilersNIBE offers a range of different boilers that run oil, electricity, pellets or wood. For those who fear dependence on one fuel source, we also offer a combination boiler. This makes it possible for you choose the cheapest, most plentiful source of energy at any given time. Combine your boiler with an air/water heat pump or solar panels for even greater savings.

Water HeatersNIBE has for been supplying hot water to the people of Sweden for over 50 years! In fact, over half the homes in Sweden have a water heater from NIBE. Capacities range from 30 – 1,050 litres and feature different kinds of corrosion protection to suit different geo-graphical areas. With such a broad range to choose from, we’re con-fident that everyone can find a NIBE water heater to suit their needs.

European Directive 20/20/20The 20/20/20 European directive imposes compulsory targets on the EU’s 27 member states, specifying that 20% of energy consumption must be met by renewable sources by 2020. Since NIBE’s heat pumps are classified as a renewable energy source, their installation will help member states reach this ambitious target. And in many cases, local or regional authorities are offering home owners subsidies to switch their existing heating systems to a renewable source such as a heat pump.

Our products are designed to USE THE EARTH.The main energy source for NIBE heat pumps is the earth, or the ambient air or a nearby water source – one or more of which occur naturally all over the planet and are provided free by Mother Earth.

Our products are relevant ALL OVER THE EARTH.Since we now offer a system with both heating and cooling functions, you can use a NIBE heat pump anywhere, regardless of your geographic location.

Our products are designed withthe HEALTH OF THE EARTH in mind.NIBE products have a very low environmental impact compared to other heating systems currently available. They do have some impact, as do all manufactured goods, but we are continually working to minimise this and to deliver an environmental payback in the form of reduced emissions.
